I'm born with what I have
Brains or muscles, looks or nothing
They say hard work can change your destiny
But even hard work feels like destiny
It's not the same
I can't beat talented people
But I still stand up, I still try
Even if I'm slow, even if I fall
Even this small step is better than nothing
The future is unknown, but I must move forward
If you don't try, you'll never know
Crying about not having talent
Means I still care, still resist
If it were over, I'd just give in
But the pain means I still believe I can win
I can't beat talented people
But I still stand up, I still try
Even if I'm slow, even if I fall
Even this small step is better than nothing
The future is unknown, but I must move forward
Because if I don't try, I'll never know
Yes, my efforts may not be rewarded or they may disappear
Not all actions are rewarded
But the only path I know
Is to move forward with my own strength
There's no way to beat talent
But I still stand up, I still try
Even if I'm slow, even if I fall
Even this small step is better than nothing
The future is unknown, but I must move forward
Because if I don't try, I'll never know

If I Don't Try
AI Music Niko
"You can't compete with talent" -a song of quiet fighting spirit, rising up even after facing such painfully harsh reality head-on.
"I Still Try" is an anti-anthem that depicts 'realistic hope'-searching for light even amidst setbacks-rather than the brightness of self-improvement.
There are no heroes in this song.
Neither victory nor miracles will happen.
Still, the protagonist walks-slowly, battered and bruised. The passage that says 'even effort is governed by fate' pierces the sense of helplessness in modern people, yet it also highlights the human will to keep living.
The sound is simple, as if speaking alone under a streetlamp at night.
There is no flashiness or exaggeration. Yet within it resides a reality that pierces the heart.
This is not a song for those who have fulfilled their dreams, but for those repeatedly denied by their dreams.
However, strangely, what remains after listening is not despair, but a small warmth that urges, 'Let's take just one more step.'
"I Still Try' is a prayer dedicated to everyone who is tired of the myth of talent. Even if you are not rewarded, walking forward itself is already 'proof that you are alive.'
